Fedora 12 in Alpha

An Alpha version of the new Fedora, codenamed Constantine and scheduled for release in November, is now available for download.

Among the many important changes in the new version are GRUB support for the file system Ext4 and a switch from Gzip to LZMA by RPM package compression, allowing faster downloads and reducing mirror space. The i686 version has also been optimized for Intel Atom processors.
